Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAX UDP packet dropped on incoming call
It's probably because the hole in your firewall has closed. Either increase the amount of outbound traffic through that port (thus keeping the association alive), or modify your firewall to have a fixed port mapping to your asterisk box. -brian Gene Willingham wrote: When receiving incoming calls, I periodically get a UDP packet dropped message on my firewall.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] 7960 SIP 7.2 keypress (not DTMF) problem
This used to happen in 6.3 all the time for me. I upgraded to 7.2 hoping that it was one of the things they fixed. But alas it wasn't. It's interesting that the key events are getting recognized enough to produce the tone feedback, but that those events are not being properly communicated to other parts of the software. Makes me really curious about the SW architecture of this thing. -brian Marty Mastera wrote: Since upgrading to 7.2, I've noticed a random problem where I dial a number and hear all the correct tones in the handset, but the display won't show all the numbers I dialed. So you sit there waiting for the dialplan to kick the call off (b/c you heard the proper amount of tones played and think it's all good) but the phone is just sitting there b/c it somehow missed digits. (For example, I dial 93035551212 and hear the correct DTMF in the handset, but the display shows 9303551212) It doesn't seem to be digit specific, and can lose one or more digits when the problem happens.

[Asterisk-Users] RC1 still broken with Cisco 7960?
After downloading the latest CVS head and testing it with the Cisco 7960 (SIP v7.2), it appears that it's still necessary to patch rtp.c to avoid audio dropouts. I'm quite sure my gateway provider is running an older version of Asterisk, and I suppose that this may be the root cause. But I mention the issue here because it seems like it would be a mistake to ship Asterisk 1.0 if it doesn't work properly with Cisco phones (as there are undoubtedly a lot of them out there). -brian ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Audio level in compressed wav files

[Asterisk-Users] TDM400 dropping loop current 10 seconds after answer
Hi everyone, I have a TDM400 configured with 4 FXS ports, each connected to a caller-id analog trunk port on a Nortel system. Outgoing calls work great. But on incoming calls it appears that loop current is getting dropped momentarily about 10 seconds after the call is answered. Since the Nortel system is programmed to recognize this as remote party hangup it is causing all incoming calls to get dropped almost immediately. Changing from ks to ls in * doesn't make the problem go away. Any thoughts?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN BRI with National (north america) Signalling
Actually, here in Maryland ISDN BRI is cheaper than POTS. POTS business lines are like $20 each, and caller-id is around $8.50 per line. So two lines with caller-id are about $57. On the other hand, a BRI, which has awesome voice quality and includes CLID is $45. If you get a residential ISDN line they can be as cheap as ~$30. And I agree with whomever said that Verizon doesn't quite get it. Whenever I call about an ISDN line they try really hard to steer me towards DSL. Although if you get to the right business unit they're a little better. Years ago I had a bunch of ATT 7506 phones on a BRI with CO-based custom ISDN centrex. It was like having my own $20M switch. Of course convincing them that they *could* do this, and that it was a tariffed service was difficult. There were times I had to fax them copies of the relevant ISDN tariff and pages from the 5ESS provisioning guide. ISDN can be very, very cool. The Europeans have figured this out, but the US telcos are just waiting to be put out of their misery. Hopefully VoIP will do it. -brian Walt Reed wrote: On Wed, Jun 09, 2004 at 11:24:11AM -0400, Jon Pounder said: Also for any ISDN gurus out there - is there a simple way to loop back BRI so I can call from one B to the other for testing with the proper signalling for National to see if asterisk actually works without committing to ordering a line that will be useless if it does not work.

FWIW, I would also be very interested in US BRI ISDN w/ * info. Analog POTS just blows.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dynamic SIP.CONF
So I've been kind of struggling with the notion of making my Asterisk implementations dynamic, too. While I'd like to make everything directly database driven, I'm not sure Asterisk is quite there yet. I've been thinking of writing something that creates appropriate configuration files from the database on a periodic basis, and then does an Asterisk reload. This would introduce a small delay into configuration changes, but it does have other benefits such as decoupling the design of the database from Asterisk. Any thoughts? -brian Fran Boon wrote: Darren Nay wrote: We are looking to expand our usage of Asterisk and I am trying to make as much of the configuration dynamic as I possibly can.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box
I'm sure there are better ways, but I usually do the following: 1) make sure my current source directory is named something else (see step 3) 2) fetch cvs head 3) mv asterisk to something like asterisk_cvs_head_5_21. This keeps all the old source trees around so that I can easily roll back to any version I've installed previously. 4) cd to the new asterisk directory (whatever you called it in step 3) 5) make 7) asterisk -r 8) show channels to make sure nobody's using it 9) stop now 10) exit asterisk 11) make install 12) restart asterisk Note that if you don't 'make samples' the stuff in /etc/asterisk won't get torched. This should be fine, assuming that the new version doesn't require any config changes.

I have two asterisk boxes running, with one connected to my PSTN gateway (also using Asterisk). 1.0 stable works fine with my Cisco phone. CVS head works if I comment out the offending lines. Without commenting them out, the cisco phones drop packets like crazy. No chan_api is involved. I use two 7960s daily with cvs-head out two cisco gateways and in and out via nufone IAX2 without issues. The question is what is diffrent about your setup vs mine? That's a good question. Let me describe my setup and when the problem occurs and when it doesn't and maybe it'll help in figuring out what's really going on here. I have something that looks like this: [PSTN Gateway *] -- 100Mb Ethernet -- [Systemix * svr] -- public Internet -- [local * server] -- 100Mb Ethernet -- [Cisco 7960] (All inter-Asterisk communication is done using IAX) In this configuration with the cvs head from 5/9 the Cisco phone works horribly (dropped/repeated? packets) unless I comment out the timestamp check in rtp.c. Stable seems to work pretty well. Now if I change the config so that it looks like this: [PSTN Gateway *] -- 100Mb Ethernet -- [Systemix * svr] -- public Internet -- [Cisco 7960] Things seem to work ok without having to make changes to rtp.c. So I've had a suspicion that it has something to do with delay or jitter that's introduced in the IAX channel that goes over the public Internet. But, as you say, this works fine for you. Could it be the extra * in the middle? That's one difference between our setups. Now the big unknown here is which version of * my PSTN provider is running. I've asked them. I'm hopeful I'll eventually get an answer. And as far as 'fixing' it goes, I would love to. I'm not without the skill. But, while Asterisk is almost unbelievable in its features set, some of the code is damn hard to grok. Some source files have as many as 8000 lines with virtually *no* comments. I don't think I've seen a single function with a preamble describing what it does, or how it works.

You have some IAX providers that do not want to take care of customers when the software they use to provide service to their customers needs an update they refuse or fail to upgrade. Not our problem if they choose not to. If they update to cvs-head the problem will go away and its backwards compatible with cvs-stable. You can continue to hack rtp.c or ask your providers to upgrade. If they refuse to take care of you then I would consider getting service elsewhere. Yeah, right. And just how often should my service provider update their Asterisk installation? Daily? Weekly? Frankly, given that there's not even a 1.0 release of Asterisk I'm amazed any service providers are using it. Asterisk is currently a rapidly moving target, as this very issue demonstrates. Once a 1.0 or 1.1 is released you can bet everyone will upgrade.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SoftPhone to SoftPhone with No Voice
Do you have iptables turned on with rules that restrict packets to the RTP ports? Try doing an iptables --flush then see if it works. If so, you'll need to open up the UDP ports that RTP is configured to use. Normally Asterisk would open up the firewall by sending packets out those ports, but when both sides of the call live outside the firewall (iptables in this case) and they're both SIP you'll have this problem.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk, Configuration of SDP in SIP messages
Alex, The media ports are configured in rtp.conf. Also, note that Asterisk sends RTP packets out the same ports it expects them to return on. This has the effect of creating a NAT mapping for that 5-tuple, as well as opening a hole in your firewall (naturally, YMMV depending on exactly what you're running for a firewall). One interesting consequence of the way Asterisk works is that if you don't have anything behind the NAT/Firewall that's generating RTP packets (ie, no audio) no hole gets made and incoming packets will get rejected. I recently ran into an interesting problem with two SIP phones trying to talk through Asterisk behind a (non-NAT) firewall. The problem was both phones were sending RTP to the Asterisk box but the firewall was blocking both RTP streams because Asterisk never sent any RTP out those ports. And the reason Asterisk hadn't sent RTP out those ports was because it was waiting for RTP from each of the two SIP phones. This was the classic chicken-and-egg scenario. I resolved it by opening up the firewall for the range of ports I had configured Asterisk to use for RTP. A better solution would be fore Asterisk to always send a starter RTP packet so that it can ensure that the firewall opens up. -brian Alexander Simeonidis wrote: Hello everybody, I'm new to Asterisk and I'm trying to configure the SIP side.

[Asterisk-Users] Strange IAX behaviors
I've been setting up a couple of * boxes with IAX trunking between them. But I've been seeing some strange IAX behavior. Asterisk version is latest CVS-04/21/04-18:10:19. Here's what I'm doing: the boxes are peers, and I have setup my iax.conf file to look something like this: machine1 [iaxuser] type=friend username=iaxuser secret=foo auth=md5 context=iaxuser-incoming host=machine2 machine2 [iaxuser] type=friend username=iaxuser secret=foo auth=md5 context=iaxuser-incoming host=machine1 Now where things get weird is when I put the following line in the extensions.conf file of machine1 switch = IAX2/iaxuser authentication fails during dialing when machine2 sends the challenge for authentication. The reason is that the username sent with the challenge isn't the one defined for iaxuser. Now, interestingly, if I change the switch line to include the user name switch = IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED] things work great! Anybody have any idea what's happening here? Is this a bug? I would think that the username would be implied by the definition for the connection (as it seems to be for Dial(IAX2/iaxuser/${EXTEN})). Another interesting thing that I've seen is that if a call comes in through an IAX connection and then tries to do a remote diaplan translation using 'switch', it seems to fail with a message stating that there's no '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (where is the number to match, and 'incoming-context' is the context defined for calls from my IAX provider). I've triple checked the dialplan, and I'm convinced it's not the problem. Changing the incoming-context to use Dial(IAX2/iaxuser/) works fine (notice that I don't need to explicitly define the username here as I did with the 'switch' parameter).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Ok, Im confused
Not exactly :-) Actually, you can get FWD to work through a NAT. SIP will send its registration requests out the same port it expects a response on. This will create a mapping in your NAT so that when INVITEs appear from FWD the NAT can figure out which local host to send them to. Same thing happens with SIP between the caller and the local machine. RTP does the same trick too. I do this all the time with a Linksys router without any difficulty. Now things get a little more complicated if you have more than one SIP device behind the firewall that's trying to talk to the outside world. You'll need to configure each to use a unique SIP port, as well as a unique range of RTP ports. If not, the NAT will see more than one local_ip:proto:port tuple and will have to remap the port as the packet leaves the router. But since the VIA header in the SIP packets will refer to the original port, incoming SIP traffic will end up at the wrong local host. With * you can avoid these problems by having all traffic go through the * box. Do this by adding reinvite=no to your sip.conf, and configure your SIP phones to use * as a proxy. Do not turn on NAT in the SIP phones. Actual firewalls (as apposed to just NATs like on a Linksys) may pose additional problems depending on how they're configured. But that's probably now what you're experiencing. Cheers, -brian Scott Weis wrote: The simple answer probably is, If you have a NAT firewall (like a linksys, netgear, dlink, etc) it will not work.

When I installed 1_0_STABLE, ringback stopped working completely on all calls through the TDM400P. I can't recall if the SIP phones stopped generating ringback also. Latest builds (as of yesterday) seem to have problems with dropouts, especially with IAX connections. I was seeing dropouts and repeated packets (think Max Headroom) over IAX channels. Checking voicemail from a SIP phone resulted in dropouts pretty consistently when it was playing menus. Now, mind you, I'm not really complaining, since this is not released code.

[Asterisk-Users] SIP -- PSTN gateways
Title: SIP -- PSTN gateways So what are people using these days for SIP or IAX to PSTN gateways. 1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow you to use your own SIP device (phone or something like *) instead of the interface hardware they usually provide? 2. What about latency and reliability? 3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP? In otherwords, if I'm already on a call and another comes in will they attempt to deliver it? Thanks -brian
RE: [Asterisk-Users] mpg123 issue and solution
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Maresca It might be a good idea to move away from mpg123 as it is no longer supported and there are bound to be more problems like this. MAD seems to be what everyone is migrating to... At the very least, not hardcoding a player into the codebase would probably be a good idea (if it is hardcoded, I couldn't find a config file for it...). The app is hard-coded. Take a look at res_musiconhold.c (in the res sub directory of the Asterisk source).

I thought it was quite weird when it happened; now it makes sense.

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN BRI-U card suggestion for use in USA
Title: ISDN BRI-U card suggestion for use in USA Hello, I'm looking for an ISDN BRI-U interface for use in the US.

I currently use a Nortel Norstar system with BRI-U trunks, and really like the digital PSTN interface. Would really like to replace the whole mess with Asterisk but want to keep the ISDN trunks.

If people/companies want to charge for software fine (after all it takes time/money to develop) but they should be willing to take the responsibility that goes with it.

Things are pretty simple so far: Linux 2.4 kernel (Redhat 9) Linux PhoneJack-Lite interface What happens is that I get dialtone, but dialing doesn't seem to do anything. I neither get connected to whatever I dialied, nor do I lose dialtone. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something dumb, and any help is greatly appreciated. One general question I have regards interfaces and incoming calls. I think I basically understand the dialplan concept, but it seems to deal soley with where a call goes. What I can't seem to figure out is how Asterisk configures input channels. Cheers, Brian
